    No skill huh? If that were the case then everybody would be professional Drag racers that hopped in a car and ran it down the strip.
    You can't explain to all the elitist that every driving sport takes skill to be good. Most of the time it just means they haven't tried it or aren't good at it, so they debate it.

    Dan is pretty good at most driving sports and has been a pro in drag and drift. He hated drifting until I MADE him try it. He fought me for months and I had to convince him that it was the new hot shit as far as business goes. Luckily I was right. Now he loves it more than drag racing...but we all remember how much skill it took him to get that Supra into the 8's. The g's you pull alone are enough to catch you off guard.
